LOTR Librarian

About Me

Name:

"Oyarsa" for those who don't know, is the name of an archangel (or "god" with a little 'g') in C. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy. I liked the character, so I stole the name. Who am I? I am a library science student in Illinois who has a variety of interests--too many to list! I have worked in libraries for five years and counting.

Are you a good person?

Confessions of a Tolkien Librarian

I am a book-napper. I stalk libraries, kidnapping books, read them, and delay bringing them back. Sometimes I hold them hostage for months. Is there a support group for this?

In my defense, I have returned nearly all the Tolkien books I had checked out to the library. I bought several new Tolkien books after work yesterday, and released the Tolkien books I had ransomed; don't need them now.

I am going to endeavor to improve...perhaps only kidnap books for two months? Yes, two months sounds like a reasonable improvement.

Ok, now that my confession is out of the way, my favorite Tolkien related cartoon:

Just can't get enough of that picture. *grin*
